Maluhia is Hawaiian in Origin.
Maluhia is a Hawaiian given name taken directly from the Hawaiian noun maluhia, meaning peace, tranquility, and safety, with connotations of shelter and protection. It relates to the root malu (“shade, protection”). The name is used for all genders but tends to be more common for girls. Pronunciation: mah-loo-HEE-ah.
Documented in Hawaiʻi since the 19th century, the word maluhia appears widely in Hawaiian-language newspapers, Bible translations, and hymns to translate “peace,” and the given name developed as a local virtue name much like Peace in English. Usage is concentrated in Hawaiʻi and among the Hawaiian diaspora, and remains rare elsewhere. Short forms and variants include Malu and Lia; extended compounds such as Kamaluhia (“the peace”) or Maluhiaokalani (“peace of the heavens”) also occur. In English contexts it is usually written without diacritics, and the spelling contains no ʻokina.
